One Eyed Kings - Wake The Fuck Up
Today, on the decade anniversary of the September 11 attacks, One Eyed Kings presents "Wake The Fuck Up." We stand in solemn remembrance of the tragic events of that infamous day.
To those who died on September 11, 2001, and to those innocent millions who have died since then due to senseless acts of war, your lives are celebrated in peace.
[video] Dubya Pardoning Himself?
Peep game on this (shouts to Elucid for the link): Dubya is trying to pass legislation that would pardon himself and his crew for any potential war crimes, dating back to September 11th. How grimey is this!? I mean, this fucker cheated his way INTO office, and now is throwing up the shield on the way out?:
While this video is old news, I guess, it's new to me, and while I can't believe this shit goes on - I am hardly surprised.

Crack(s) In America
Last year, I dropped "America: The Ugly", a mixtape devoted to questioning the current admistration, musically... bringing up a host of different things that contribute to our nation being divided. While I am deeply saddened by the events that transpired 6 years ago, the onus is on the Adminstration to rectify the situations that still plague our great nation: racism, war, poverty, sexism; these problems, and many more, help give the world around us a distorted view of what goes on on our soil.
(NOTE: As I'm writing this, I get messages about disgusting acts of violence and hatred like this that make me think we are so far from where we need to be...)
Hopefully, mixtapes like this (as well as other forms of art, whether visual or the written word) can help usher in a dialogue that will open the floodgates, and help get some sense into the White House.

Take a moment and reflect on the tragic events of this day in our collective memories... fight the powers that be , and stand up for what you believe in. And for those out there deep in the struggles (both here at home and away in foreign lands) - keep your head up.

PS: Start Snitching has YouTube clips of the most recent Real Time episode, with Mos Def & Cornell West on it. Interesting comments made. Fresh has an interesting post on Hip-Hop's (nonexistent) reaction the day the towers fell.
PPS: Free the Jena 6
PPPS: Check out E's poem, "Gemini's Ashes"
Can we please have a moment of silence?
RIP to those who lost their lives in the senseless acts of terrorism back on the 11th of September, 2001.

America The Ugly: The Mixtape (Sept. 2006)
Yes, this is a continuation of my "America The Ugly" post from July 4th, 2006, as well as my "food for thought" post from 7-03-2006. I've been working on the mixtape tip, trying to get my thoughts and feelings across through song, and it's coming along like gang busters. You guys dug "How To Speak 'Hip'", so we bring you another chapter of my Dub Sessions chambers.
This one is chock full of Hip-Hop. Loads of artists are referenced, from Pharoahe Monch to Company Flow to James Brown to Saul Williams to Nas to Jay Dee to J. Rawls to Mos Def, with many other artists and thoughts sprinkled in. No, this is not solely about the lose of life from 9/11; this mixtape touches on various points in America that piss me off and touch many lives every day.
If anyone has a problem with this, so be it. We cherish our freedom, but we also wish that our leaders would take us seriously, not as a race or as a gender, but as a united people. America, fufill your promise and get us us free!
